NOTICE OF MOTION
Applicant
Respondents

collectively with Ocean, the "Debtors"), will make a motion to a judge presiding over the
Commercial List, on April 26, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. or as soon after that time as the motion

\
2
THE MOTION IS FOR AN ORDER:
(a) that the activities and conduct of the Receiver as set out in the Second
Report of the Receiver be approved;
(b) approving the Receiver's Final Statement of Cash Receipts and
Disbursements;
(c) approving the distribution of funds from the receivership to HSBC
Bank Canada ("HSBC") and the distribution of any future recoveries
to HSBC without further order of the Court;
(d) approving the fees and disbursements of the Receiver and its counsel;
(e) releasing the Receiver in its capacity as court-appointed interim
receiver from any and all liability in any way arising out of its acts or
omissions while acting in its capacity as court-appointed interim
receiver, save and except for any gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the Receiver's part; and
(f) such other relief as this Honourable court deems just.
THE GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION ARE:
1. By Order of the Honourable Mr. Justice Wilton-Siegel dated June 23, 2015, BDO
Canada Limited was appointed the receiver over the Debtors.
2. Ocean carried out a commercial fish and seafood packaging, storage and wholesale

Ocean ceased business operations prior to the receivership in or around September
2014.

3. By Order of the Honourable Justice Newbould dated October 26, 2015, the
Receiver was authorized to complete a sale of the property owned by 220 and the

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Introduction
1. By Order of the Honourable Justice Wilton-Siegel of the Superior Court of
Justice (the "Court") dated June 23, 2015 (the "Receivership Order") BOO was
appointed as Receiver and Manager (the "Receiver") without security, of all of the
assets, properties and undertakings of Ocean Linksys Inc. C'Ocean") and 2204321
Ontario Inc. ("220" and collectively with Ocean, the "Debtors"). A copy of the
Receivership Order is included hereto as Appendix A.
2. By Order of the Honourable Justice Newbould of the Court dated October 26, 2015
(the "Approval and Vesting Order") attached hereto as Appendix 8, the Receiver
was authorized to complete a sale transaction contemplated by an agreement of
purchase and sale dated August 10, 2015 as amended on September 8, 2015, and
subsequently on November 6, 2015 (the "Sale Agreement") for the sale of the
property municipally known as 86-88 Fenmar Drive, Toronto, ON (the "Real
Property") with Ramesh Patel in trust for a corporation to be incorporated (the
"Purchaser"). The Approval and Vesting Order also vested in the Purchaser the
Debtors' right, title and interest in and to the assets described in the Sale
Agreement.
Purpose of this Report
3. The purposes of the Second Report of the Receiver dated April 6, 2016 (the
"Second Report") are to:
a) seek the Court's approval of the Second Report and the activities
of the Receiver set out herein;
Disclaimer
-4-
b) seek the Court's approval of the Receiver's Schedule of Receipts
and Disbursements (the "R&D Schedule");
c) seek the Court's approval of the fees and disbursements of the
Receiver and its counsel, Baker & McKenzie LLP ("Baker"), as set
out herein; and
d) seek the Court's approval of the discharge and release of BOO as
Receiver of the undertaking, property and assets of the Debtors.
4. This Second Report is prepared solely for the use of the Court, for the purpose
of assisting the Court in making a determination whether to approve the discharge of
BOO as Receiver, and other relief being sought.
5. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts contained in this Second Report
are expressed in Canadian dollars.
Background
6. The Debtors are incorporated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations
Act. Ocean carried out a commercial fish and seafood packaging, storage and
wholesale business in Toronto from the Real Property. 220 is a non-operating entity
that owns the Real Property and received rent from Ocean.
7. The Receiver understands that Ocean ceased business operations prior to the
receivership in or around September 2014. At the time the Receiver took possession
and control of the Real Property, the building was vacant except for certain personal
property assets (freezers and related equipment affixed to the Real Property) and
there were limited books and records on site.
-5-
8. HSBC is the senior secured lender of the Debtors pursuant to credit fadlities
letters dated January 7, 2015 (the "Ocean Facilities"), and September 19, 2014 (the
"220 Facility" and together with the Ocean Facilities, the "Credit Facilities").
9. As at March 31, 2015, the Debtors were indebted to HSBC under the Credit
Facilities, including interest and the Unauthorized Overdraft, for the amounts of
shown below:
CREDIT FACILITIES SUMMARY:
Canadian
Funds US Funds Ocean Fadlities $ 800,646 s 520,889 220 Fadlity 1,229,241 Totals s 2,029,887 s 520,889
10. As security for the Ocean Facilities, 220 provided HSBC a guarantee of the
obligations of Ocean in the maximum principal amount of $1,088,800 (the "220
Guarantee"). Similarly, as security for the 220 Facility, Ocean provided HSBC a
guarantee of the obligations of 220 in the maximum prindpal amount of $1,430,000
(the "Ocean Guarantee", and together with the 220 Guarantee, the "Cross
Guarantees").
11. The Credit Facilities are secured by among other things, General Security
Agreements granted by Ocean and 220 to the Bank, General Assignment of Book Debts
granted by Ocean to the Bank, and a Chattel Mortgage granted by Ocean to the Bank
(collectively the "HSBC Security"). As reported in the First Report, the Receiver
obtained an opinion from independent counsel on the validity and enforceability of the
HSBC Security. Attached as Appendix C is a copy of the First Report without
appendices.
-6-
12. The Credit Facilities were further secured by a Demand Collateral
Mortgage/Charge in the principal amount of $2,519,000 granted by 220 to the Bank
and registered against the Real Property on January 11, 2012 (the "Mortgage") and by
an Assignment of Rents granted by 220 to the Bank.
ACTIVITIES OF THE RECEIVER
13. Pursuant to the Approval and Vesting Order the Receiver completed the sale of
the Real Property to the Purchaser on November 12, 2015. Due to difficulty and
expense in removing the freezers and other equipment that were affixed to the Real
Property, the Receiver and the Purchaser entered into a amending agreement on
November 6, 2015, which shifted responsibility for the removal of these chattels to the
Purchaser. In exchange, the Receiver agreed to a price reduction of $125,000.
14. By Order of the Honourable Justice Newbould of the Court dated October 26,
2015 (the "Distribution Order") attached hereto as Appendix D, the Receiver
distributed the net sale proceeds totaling $1,230,857.15 from the sale of the Real
Property to HSBC. The Distribution Order permits the Receiver to distribute up to $1.3
million without further order of the Court.
Receiver's Borrowings
15. The Receiver needed to borrow funds from HSBC through the issuance of
Receiver's certificates during the receivership proceeding to cover ongoing
administrative expenses including professional fees, insurance premiums, property
maintenance costs and costs to remediate mould found at the Real Property. The
Receiver has fully repaid $114,985.84 borrowed by it together with interest of $892.41
from the estate funds.
-7-
Receipts and Disbursements
16. The R&D Schedule, appended hereto as Appendix E, reports net receipts over
disbursements for the period of $2,384.62, before provision for payment of the
Professional Fee Reserves (defined below). Following payment of the Professional Fee
Reserves, the Receiver seeks approval to distribute all remaining estate funds to HSBC
up to the amount of its indebtedness (the 11Final Distribution").
DISCHARGE
17. To the best of the Receiver's knowledge, the Receiver has completed the
realization of substantially all of Debtors' assets.
18. All of the Receiver's duties as set out in the Receivership Order will be
completed upon: i) filing the final estate HST returns to recover any unclaimed input
tax credits estimated to be approximately $28,361; ii) making the Final Distribution;
and iii) filing the Receiver's final report pursuant to S. 246(3) of the Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. Once the
Receiver has completed these activities, the Receiver proposes to file a Receiver's
Certificate with the Court certifying same to obtain a discharge and release over the
undertaking, property and assets of the Debtors.
FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS
19. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Receiver has provided services since
the Receiver's First Report to Court on October 15, 2015 and incurred disbursements
which are more particularly described in the affidavit and detailed invoices attached
hereto as Appendix F.
-8-
20. The detailed time descriptions contained in the invoices provide a fair and
accurate description of the services provided and the amounts charged by BOO as
Receiver. Included with each separate invoice is a summary of the time charges of
Partners and Staff, whose services are reflected in the invoices, including the total
fees and hours billed.
21. Additionally, the Receiver has incurred legal fees of its counsel in respect of
these proceedings, as per the fee affidavit and exhibits attached hereto as Appendix
G.
22. The Receiver has reviewed Baker's fee affidavit and believes same to be fair
and reasonable in the circumstances.
23. The Receiver requests that the Court approve its accounts for the period from
October 1, 2015 to March 16, 2016 in the amount of $39,033.28 for fees and
disbursements including HST of $5,074.33 for a total of $44,107.61 plus the amount of
$2,500, plus HST, to complete the administration of the estate.
24. The Receiver also requests that the Court approve the accounts of its legal
counsel for the period from September 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015 in the amount of
$29,784.25 plus disbursements of $508.76, plus HST of $3,920.15, for a total of
$34,213.16, plus the amount of $5,000, plus HST, to complete the administration of
the estate.
25. As stated, the Receiver estimates that it will incur $8,475 in future professional
fees to complete the administration of the estate consisting of $7,500.00 in future
professional fees of the Receiver and its counsel plus HST of $975.00 (the
"Professional Fee Reserves").
-9-
RECOMMENDATIONS
26. Based on the foregoing, the Receiver recommends that the Court:
a) approve this Second Report of the Receiver, and the activities of
the Receiver set out herein;
b) approve the Receiver's R&D Schedule and the final distribution to
HSBC;
c) approve the fees and disbursements of the Receiver and Baker, as
set out herein; and
d) approve the discharge and release of BOO as Receiver of the
undertaking, property and assets of the Debtors upon BOO filing
the Receiver's Certificate with the Court.
AU of which is respectfully submitted this 6th day of April, 2016.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Introduction
1. By Order of the Honourable Justice Wilton-Siegel of the Superior Court of Justice
(the "Court") dated June 23, 2015 (the "Receivership Order") BOO was appointed as
Receiver and Manager (the "Receiver") without security, of all of the assets, properties
and undertakings of Ocean Linksys Inc. ("Ocean") and 2204321 Ontario Inc. ("220" and
collectively with Ocean, the "Debtors"). A copy of the Receivership Order is included
hereto as Appendix A.
Purpose of this Report
2. The purposes of the First Report of the Receiver dated October 15, 2015 (the
"First Report") are to:
a) seek the Court's approval of the First Report and the activities of
the Receiver set out herein;
b) seek the Court's approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated
August 1 0, 2015 and corresponding Amending Agreement dated
September 8, 2015 entered into between the Receiver and "Ramesh
Patel in trust for a company to be incorporated" (the "Purchaser")
for the purchase and sale of the property municipally known as 86-
88 Fenmar Drive, Toronto, ON (the ''Real Property") and the
completion of the sale transaction contemplated thereunder (the
"Sale Agreement");
c) pursuant to the Sale Agreement, seek the Court's approval of the
vesting of 220's right, title and interest in the Real Property in and
to the Purchaser;
d) seek the Court's approval of the sealing of Confidential Appendices
1 to 6 pending closing of the transaction contemplated under the
Sale Agreement to preserve the integrity of the sale process;
Disclaimer
-5-
e) seek the Court's approval to make an interim distribution of the net
sale proceeds from the sale of the Real Property to the first
mortgagee, HSBC Bank Canada ("HSBC" or the "Bank"); and
f) seek the Court's approval of the fees and disbursements of the
Receiver and its counsel, Baker & McKenzie LLP ("Baker"), as set
out herein.
3. This First Report is prepared solely for the use of the Court, for the purpose of
assisting the Court in making a determination whether to approve the marketing and
sale of the Real Property, and other relief being sought.
4. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts contained in this First Report are
expressed in Canadian dollars.
Background
5. The Debtors are incorporated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act.
Ocean carried out a commercial fish and seafood packaging, storage and wholesale
business in Toronto from the Real Property. 220 is a non-operating entity that owns the
Real Property and received rent from Ocean.
6. The Receiver understands that Ocean ceased business operations prior to the
receivership in or around September 2014. At the time the Receiver took possession
and control of the Real Property, the building was vacant except for certain personal
property assets (discussed below) and there were limited books and records on site.
7. HSBC is the senior secured lender of the Debtors pursuant to credit facilities
letters dated January 7, 2015 (the "Ocean Facilities"), and September 19, 2014 (the
"220 Facility" and together with the Ocean Facilities, the "Credit Facilities").
-6-
8. From January 2015 to March 31, 2015, 220 made unauthorized drawings upon its
current account thereby creating an unauthorized overdraft on the account of
$35,704.66 (the "Unauthorized Overdraft") as detailed in the Affidavit of Cheryl Lee
dated May 20, 2015.
9. As at March 31, 2015, the Debtors were indebted to HSBC under the Credit
Facilities, including interest and the Unauthorized Overdraft, for the amounts of shown
below:
CREDIT FACILITIES SUMMARY:
Ocean Fadlities
220 Facility

Funds
s 800,646
1,229,241
s 2,029,887
US Funds
s 520,889
s 520,889
10. As security for the Ocean Facilities, 220 provided HSBC a guarantee of the
obligations of Ocean in the maximum principal amount of $1,088,800 (the "220
Guarantee"). Similarly, as security for the 220 Facility, Ocean provided HSBC a
guarantee of the obligations of 220 in the maximum principal amount of $1 ,430,000 (the
"Ocean Guarantee", and together with the 220 Guarantee, the "Cross Guarantees").
11. The Credit Facilities are secured by among other things, General Security
Agreements granted by Ocean and 220 to the Bank, General Assignment of Book Debts
granted by Ocean to the Bank, and a Chattel Mortgage granted by Ocean to the Bank
(collectively the "HSBC Security"). The HSBC Security is registered under the Personal
Property Security Act (Ontario) ("PPSA").
-7-
12. The Credit Facilities are further secured by a Demand Collateral
Mortgage/Charge in the principal amount of $2,519,000 granted by 220 to the Bank and
registered against the Real Property on January 11, 2012 (the "Mortgage") and by an
Assignment of Rents granted by 220 to the Bank.
13. Further background facts on the enforcement steps taken by the Bank and the
circumstances leading to the receivership proceedings are contained in the Affidavit of
Cheryl Lee sworn May 20, 2015 in support of the receivership application. A copy of this
Affidavit is appended hereto as Appendix B (without exhibits).
ACTIVITIES OF THE RECEIVER
14. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the following is a summary of the activities
of the Receiver:
(a) corresponding with the Debtors and their counsel to locate the available
books and records;
(b) preparing and issuing the prescribed Notices and Statements of the Receiver
pursuant to sections 245 (1) and 246 (1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency
Act, which were forwarded to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy
and the known creditors;
(c) setting up a case website at www.bdo.ca/Oceanlinksys;
(d) corresponding with the tenant leasing the parking lot at the Real Property;
(e) arranging to insure the Real Property and personal property assets;
(f) arranging for an appraisal of the Real Property from Colliers International
Realty Advisors Inc. ("Colliers");
-8-
(g) arranging for an appraisal from Asset Appraisal of the personal property
assets located at the Real Property;
(h) obtaining listing proposals from four commercial real estate brokers to list
the Real Property for sale;
(i) arranging to set up utility accounts for the Real Property;
(j) arranging for audits of the Debtors' payroll and/or HST accounts as applicable
to be completed by Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA");
(k) arranging for the general clean-up, maintenance and mould remediation at
the Real Property;
(l) reviewing appraisals, environmental reports and other sources of information
to better understand the nature of the Real Property;
(m)arranging with HSBC to borrow money under Receiver's Certificates at the
same rate of interest as is being charged to the Debtors to fund receivership
administrative expenses;
(n) negotiating the sale of the Real Property with the Purchaser;
(o) corresponding with equipment lessors and arranging for the release of certain
equipment; and
(p) preparing the First Report.
Marketing and Sale of the Real Property
15. Among the powers set out in the Receivership Order, the Receiver is empowered
and authorized in Paragraph 3(j) to market any or all of the Debtors' property or any
part or parts thereof and to negotiate terms and conditions of sale as the Receiver in its
discretion may deem appropriate.
-9-
16. Further to this end, the Receiver obtained four listing proposals from the
following commercial brokers:
i. Avison Young;
ii. Cushman ft Wakefield;
iii. Colliers; and
iv. CBRE Limited.
Each of the above listing proposals contain a suggested list price based on a property
comparable analysis, sale commission structure, proposed marketing efforts and
relevant experience. A table summarizing the salient details of the listing proposals
together with copies of the proposals is included hereto as Confidential Appendix 1.
17. Additionally, the Receiver engaged Colliers to provide the Receiver with an
appraisal of the Real Property (the "Real Estate Appraisal,.). A copy of the Real Estate
Appraisal dated July 17, 2015 is attached hereto as Confidential Appendix 2.
18. The Receiver received an offer from the Purchaser dated July 27, 2015 for the
Real Property through Colliers before the Real Property was listed for sale. Given that
the offer was reasonable in comparison with values reported in the Real Estate Appraisal
and the listing proposals received, the Receiver negotiated an agreement of purchase
and sale dated August 10, 2015 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") with the
Purchaser and signed a listing agreement with Colliers listing the property for sale at
$1.895 million as recommended by Colliers in its listing proposal.
19. Among other conditions, the Purchase and Sale Agreement provided the
Purchaser with a 30 day due diligence period and allowed the Receiver to continue to
market the Real Property for sale until September 30, 2015 so as to be able to expose
-10-
the Real Property to the market for a period of time. The Purchase and Sale Agreement
also provided for the Receiver to be able to accept a superior offer for the Real Property
up to September 30, 2015 with the Purchaser having the right to match any superior
offer received by the Receiver.
20. A second offer was received from Tony Habbaky for the Real Property (the
"Habbaky Offer") which was substantially lower than the Purchaser's offer. The
Habbaky Offer could not be negotiated to the price offered by the Purchaser and so the
Receiver allowed the Habbaky Offer to expire. A copy of the Habbaky Offer is included
hereto as Confidential Appendix 3.
21. In order to satisfy itself of the environmental condition of the Real Property, the
Purchaser engaged environmental consultant, Pinchin Ltd., to complete an
environmental site assessment. Due to a number of factors, the "Phase 1" report
recommended a "Phase 2" site assessment involving four boreholes at an estimated cost
of approximately $15,000. A copy of the "Phase 1" Environmental Report is included
hereto as Confidential Appendix 4.
22. Rather than conduct a "Phase 2" environmental assessment to determine the
nature and extent of any possible environmental contamination given uncertainty
created by the site's history, location and the surrounding uses of nearby properties,
the Purchaser and the Receiver opted to negotiate a purchase price reduction in
exchange for the Purchaser waiving its due diligence conditions.
23. The purchase price was adjusted downward by $50,000 and the Purchaser waived
its due diligence conditions pursuant to an Amending Agreement dated September 8,
2015 (the "Amending Agreement"). The Receiver now has a binding agreement which
-11-
is subject to the granting by the Court of an Approval and Vesting Order (the "Vesting
Order") vesting 220's right, title and interest in and to the Real Property and certain
personal property assets on site with limited value to the Purchaser free and clear of
any other interests or encumbrances. A copy of the Sale Agreement is attached hereto
as Confidential Appendix 5.
24. Attached hereto as Confidential Appendix 6, is Colliers' marketing and activity
reports. The marketing and activity reports show that during the period the Real
Property was listed for sale with Colliers that there were 19 expressions of interest, 11
site tours ultimately resulting in 2 offers. Given the circumstances, the Receiver's view
is that the Real Property was sufficiently exposed to the market for a reasonable period
of time.
25. The sale price set out in the Sale Agreement is reasonable compared to the values
reported in the Real Estate Appraisal and listing proposals. Accordingly, the Receiver
recommends that the Court approve the Sale Agreement and the completion of the sale
transaction contemplated thereunder.
26. HSBC, the senior secured creditor and first mortgagee, supports the Receiver's
motion to have the sale of the Real Property approved by the Court.
Personal Property Assets
27. The Receiver is in possession of limited books and records of the Debtors. As
noted above, the Receiver has attempted to contact the principals of the Debtors
directly and through their counsel in an effort to recover copies of the books and
records. To date, there has been no response to this correspondence which is attached
as Appendix C.
-12-
28. The Receiver has limited and out of date accounts receivable reports that were
submitted to HSBC by Ocean prior to the receivership appointment, but more records of
the Debtors are required in order to verify the accuracy of the accounts receivable
reports submitted to HSBC which only contains names and no addresses for the
customers of Ocean. It is the Receiver's view that the principals of the Debtors are not
cooperative and will not produce the books and records unless compelled to do so. On
this issue, the Receiver has consulted with HSBC which does not believe that further
actions by the Receiver to pursue the principals will be worth the expenses entailed.
29. At the date of the Receivership there was equipment owned by Ocean located at
the Real Property.
30. The Receiver arranged for an appraisal of the equipment by Asset Appraisal. A
copy of the appraisal completed by Asset Appraisal is included hereto as Confidential
Appendix 6.
31. More than half of the combined appraised value of $32,350 attributed to the
equipment owned by Ocean relates to equipment financed by LiftCapital Corporation
("LiftCapital"). The equipment financed by LiftCapital was returned to the equipment
financier as described below. The remaining assets owned by Ocean consist mainly of
freezer units and associated equipment.
Security Opinion
32. The Receiver engaged Baker as independent legal counsel and requested that it
provide the Receiver with a security opinion on the validity and enforceability of the
HSBC Security and Mortgage. The Receiver received a security opinion from Baker,
which subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in the security opinion of
-13-
Baker, confirms the validity and enforceability of the HSBC Security and the Mortgage.
A copy of the Baker security opinion is attached hereto as Appendix D. Aside from
perfected Purchase Money Security Interests e'PMSI") in certain equipment and vehicle
leases, HSBC appears, subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in the
seqJrity opinion, to have a valid and enforceable security interest registered first in
time under the PPSA against the Debtors' assets.
Leased/Financed Equipment
33. The Receiver was contacted by LiftCapital claiming that it had perfected PMSI's
in 3 pieces of equipment located at the Real Property specifically, a Toyota Pallet Truck,
Toyota Forklift and a charger (the "Toyota Units"). The Receiver had its counsel review
the lease/financing agreements for the Toyota Units and received legal advice that
LiftCapital had perfected PMSI's which ranked ahead of HSBC's Security. Furthermore,
the payout values provided by LiftCapital for the Toyota Units were significantly higher
than what the appraiser had estimated their resale value to be. As a result, the Receiver
relinquished possession of the Toyota Units to LiftCapital as requested.
Leased Vehicles
34. The Receiver identified 2 vehicles, a 2010 BMW X5M ("BMW") and 2014 Ford
Escape ("Escape"), leased to Ocean following a review of a PPSA search conducted in
the name of Ocean. The Receiver understands that subsequent to the receivership,
BMW Canada Inc. has since removed its PPSA registration against Ocean as the BMW was
either returned or the lease transferred to a third party. Additionally, the Receiver
contacted Ford Credit and is advised that the lease for the Escape has been transferred
to a third party and that Ford Credit will be removing its PPSA registration against Ocean
in the near future.
-14-
Tenant Leasing Commercial Parking Area
35. After its appointment, the Receiver contacted J.P. Paving Company Inc., which
the Receiver determined was leasing the parking lot at the Real Property and confirmed
that rental payments were current. On July 29, 2015, the tenant provided 60 days
written notice that it intended to vacate the parking lot and did so on September 30,
2015. Under the terms of the lease agreement dated December 1, 2013, the tenant is
required to pave the parking lot once it vacated the Real Property. In total, the Receiver
collected two month's rent totaling $1,808, including taxes from the tenant.
Receiver's Borrowings
36. At the onset of the receivership proceeding, the Receiver borrowed $16,243.75
from HSBC through the issuance of a Receiver's certificate to cover ongoing receivership
administrative expenses, including insurance premiums, property maintenance costs
and costs to remediate mould found at the Real Property. The Receiver will need to
borrow additional funds to cover ongoing expenses until the sale of the Real Property
doses. The Receiver proposes to repay monies borrowed by it together with interest,
charged at the same rate being charged by HSBC to the Debtors, from the estate funds
prior to making any distributions as being requested below.
DEEMED TRUST /PRIORITY CLAIMS
220 Claims
37. The Receiver arranged for an HST audit of 220's available records and it appears
that 220 has not remitted GST/HST totalling $23,729. A copy of CRA's deemed trust
claim against 220 is included hereto as Appendix E.
-15-
38. Given that 220's HST arrears relate to amounts not remitted in calendar 2013
and 2014, the Receiver is advised by its counsel that the Mortgage registered in 2012 by
HSBC against the Real Property qualifies as a "prescribed security interest" under
subsection 222(4) of the Excise Tax Act and the Mortgage will have priority ahead of
CRA's deemed trust claim for outstanding HST. Essentially, failure by 220 to remit HST
did not benefit the mortgagee since the mortgage was registered before 220's HST
arrears arose.
39. The Receiver received a notice from the City of Toronto in respect of outstanding
property taxes owed by 220 totaling $128,809.18 (the "Property Tax Notice"). Any
outstanding property taxes will be paid in full directly from the proceeds from the sale
of the Real Property on closing. A copy of the Property Tax Notice is attached hereto
as Appendix F.
Ocean Claims
40. The Receiver arranged for both an HST and payroll audit of Ocean's records. The
Ocean audit results are pending and so the Receiver cannot comment on whether there
could be deemed trust claims filed against Ocean that would rank ahead of HSBC's
Security.
41. As noted above, the Receiver understands that Ocean ceased operations in or
around September 2014 which is more than 6 months before the granting of the
Receivership Order. As a result, it appears that none of Ocean's former employees
would qualify to file claims under the Wage Earner Protection Program Act ("WEPPA")
given that qualifying claims under the WEPPA must be for amounts owing within six
months next preceding the receivership proceedings by an employer to its former
employees.
-16-
42. Furthermore, none of Ocean's former employees have contacted the Receiver to
make any claims for unpaid wages, vacation pay, termination or severance pay.
Consequently, the Receiver is of the opinion that there is no outstanding vacation pay
owing by Ocean to any of its former employees that could be considered a deemed trust
pursuant to the Employment Standards Act (Ontario).
43. The Receiver is not aware and there appears to be no evidence in the available
records that any pension fund was set up on behalf of Ocean's former employees. The
Receiver therefore concludes that there will be no pension priority claim filed against
Ocean.
DISTRIBUTION
Proposed Interim Distribution
44. Recovery from all of the Debtors' assets are expected to yield a shortfall to HSBC.
45. In the event that this Honourable Court approves the sale of the Real Property,
the Receiver proposes making an interim distribution of the net sale proceeds from the
· sale of the Real Property. Accordingly, the Receiver proposes to distribute to: i) the
Receiver and Baker monies sufficient to cover the professional fees and disbursements
rendered in this matter as set out in the respective fee affidavits; and (ii) to HSBC, the
net sale proceeds from the sale of the Real Property, up to a maximum amount of 220's
indebtedness to the Bank (the ,.Interim Distributions").
CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE SALE PROCESS
46. The Receiver is of the view that it is appropriate that this Honourable Court order
the sealing of Confidential Appendices 1·6 pending the closing of the transaction
contemplated under the Sale Agreement, to prevent the information contained therein
-17-
from affecting the market prices for the Real Property in the event that the sale does
not close and the Receiver has to negotiate another sale agreement.
47. The Receiver is of the view that no party will be prejudiced if the information
contained in Confidential Appendices 1-6 remain sealed on this temporary basis.
FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS
48. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Receiver has provided services and
incurred disbursements which are more particularly described in the affidavit and
detailed invoices attached hereto as Appendix G.
49. The detailed time descriptions contained in the invoices provide a fair and
accurate description of the services provided and the amounts charged by BOO as
Receiver. Included with each separate invoice is a summary of the time charges of
Partners and Staff, whose services are reflected in the invoices, including the total fees
and hours billed.
50. Additionally, the Receiver has incurred legal fees of its counsel in respect of
these proceedings, including the security review, as per the fee affidavit and exhibits
attached hereto as Appendix H.
51. The Receiver has reviewed Baker's fee affidavit and believes same to be fair and
reasonable in the circumstances.
52. The Receiver requests that the Court approve its accounts for the period from
June 23, 2015 to September 30, 2015 in the amount of $38,097.86 for fees and
disbursements including HST of $4,952.72 for a total of $43,050.38.
-18-
53. The Receiver also requests that the Court approve the accounts of its legal
counsel for the period from June 29, 2015 to August 31, 2015 in the amount of $7,067.50
plus disbursements of $4.00, plus HST of $919.30, for a total of $7,990.80.
RECOMMENDATIONS
54. Based on the foregoing, the Receiver recommends that the Court:
a) approve this First Report of the Receiver, and the activities of the
Receiver set out herein;
b) approve the Sale Agreement and authorize the Receiver to complete
the transaction contemplated thereunder;
c) vest title in the Real Property in the Purchaser;
d) seal Confidential Appendices 1·6 pending closing of the transaction
contemplated under the Sale Agreement;
e) authorize and direct the Receiver to make the Interim Distributions;
and
f) approve the fees and disbursements of the Receiver and Baker, as
